Sony Unveils New PS3 Controller at Gamescom Conference

In an effort to keep up with the competition from the Nintendo Wii, Sony recently unveiled a new PS3 controller at the Gamescom conference in August. The PS3 motion controller is similar to the motion-detecting Wii remote.

The PS3 motion remote promises gamers a more unique playing experience than any other controller on the market. Sony claims the controller can offer sub-pixel precision.

"In real life people don’t just move sideways that’s why our motion sensor controller reads your position in full 3D this means that you can reach right into the TV and become part of the game," the controller's trailer explained.

The new controller looks like a wand with a ball of color at the top. The lights and colors of the ball are intended to give gamers new and different ways to play. For example, the flashing ball could indicate who the winner is after a game.

Learn What Is Bluetooth Technology

Wondering what is Bluetooth technology? We'll give you a concise, simple overview of this advanced technology in this post.

Basically, Bluetooth technology allows mobile and fixed devices to share data wirelessly. Bluetooth devices use a wireless open protocol to create PANs, or personal area networks, for data exchange.

Bluetooth was originally designed to replace cumbersome data cables for sharing information. Bluetooth works with most types of devices, which saves users the trouble of synchronization.

Bluetooth devices can link cell phones, PDAs, computers, speakers, game consoles, and more. The technology is named after a 10th-century Danish king who brought various tribes together into one kingdom. The implication is that Bluetooth has done the same thing by uniting protocols for communication.

Handheld X Box Games Console May Be on the Way

A senior exec from the Microsoft corporation has indicated that the company will eventually release a handheld version of the X Box games console. The executive, Shane Kim, shared the news in an interview with game website Kikizo.

"For us, it's a matter of focusing on 'when', because if we chased after a mobile or hand-held opportunity, we would not have the resources and ability to do things like Project Natal," Mr. Kim said.

Microsoft has suggested that their handheld device will do more than just play games. The device would more than likely incorporate social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter as well as movie rental services like Netflix.

Mr. Kim would not reveal a timeline for the release of the handheld gaming console. He said the company is also toying with the idea of creating its own phone in lieu of a portable console.

Buy Used for Cheap Cell Phones

The simplest way to find cheap cell phones without having to sign a lengthy contract is to buy used. You can find hundreds of affordable cell phones on CellularCountry.com.

If you decide to buy used, there are a few things you should consider first. For instance, is the phone you're buying unlocked? The phone will be unusable if it is still locked.

Secondly, the phone should come with a decent warranty. Without a warranty, you won't be able to get your money back if the phone doesn't work.

Finally, make sure the company you buy from has thoroughly inspected the phone. For example, Cellular Country subjects every phone they sell to a 5-point inspection to guarantee quality.
